Diary PCBuds mini-grow

Good enough.
I'm gonna plant it.

 

[PCBuds]

Yes. Purple City Genetics (based in Oakland, CA) sells some good autos. Their Saltwater OG (auto) has tested close to 30%. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-M7TkqhddR/

I took your advice and bought some Saltwater OG Autoflower seeds.

With some prodding from SuperBadGrower in a few PM's and much ado, trying to source and pay for them (they're kinda sold out everywhere), I managed to buy three seeds for $69.50 CAD, shipped from the UK.



I'm looking forward to trying to out-do my latest harvest.

Thanks, indagroove, and SuperBadGrower for your assistance.



This is what I should expect to see.










Do you think I'll get fall colors if I let her go for 15 weeks? Lol

lt bugs me to spend $23 a seed.

Apparently, it takes about 73 average-sized seeds to weigh one gram.
That's $1679 per gram.

Gold is currently only $63 a gram.
Palladium is the most expensive precious metal and it's only $78.60 a gram. Lol



I sure hope that they all pop.

I'm going to be really nervous trying to germinate and plant them.
I'll make sure I'm sober, wear my reading glasses, and sterilize my tweezers. Lol

Next time just send me some money and I'll make a trip to the local dispensary and mail them up to you. Although the truth is with shipping it might add up to the same amount. I think they sell them for $25 for a 3-pack here (plus tax, so maybe $30 out the door). Yeah, seeds are expensive unfortunately, which is why I prefer finding a keeper or two of a photoperiod plant and just continually take clones. Cheap and consistent, just the way I like things.

I found a dispensary from California that had three seeds for $30 plus a 10$ flat rate for shipping.
But it was $45 shipping to Canada.

All in American dollars.

Plus my bank transfer fee because they probably don't take Visa or PayPal.

Looks like flat rate via USPS to Canada is $26.90 USD. Seems pretty expensive to cross a border with a small package.

Yeah, I guess, but the border is closed up pretty tight now?

Apparently, the UK has no COVID slowdown.


But it might take me a year to use my 3 seeds.

I think that I might like the Saltwater OG and want more though.

I don't mind spending the $23 on a seed if I end up with 100+ grams of primo weed.

As long as I can get to the end without some sort of failure.


It would be nice to have a butt load of seeds though.
I've got about 170 seeds from my past grow, but they are White Widow hermed seeds that I don't want to grow.

 

[PCBuds]

I'm pretty wasted and can't stop messing with my seed. Lol












Oh well, the shell is off now so that's good. Lol

 

[PCBuds]

I've set a new goal for myself.

This is a CandyCane Autoflower, so it only seems appropriate to harvest it on Christmas Day.

 

[PCBuds]

For God's sake!!
I'm wasted and can't stop digging for CandyCane's. Lol







I replanted it and realized that my reservoir was empty for no good reason, so I put some water in and some on top of the soil too.

I don't know what I was thinking?


Keep it damp, dumbass.











It's a good thing that I'm wasted or I may never have noticed that. Lol

 

[PCBuds]

I flooded and drained my cooler.

Canadians pay top dollar for everything... guess it has to be carried across vast sheets of ice and tundra mountains by the mounties

I'd gladly pay extra too, to not have to put up with some of the BS we got to deal with down here in the states right now.

Remember, if you bugbee you get stung.

 

[PCBuds]

I'm pretty sure that my light is adequate.

My temperature isn't too bad.

My CO2 is pretty good. I've got my wine bubbling in the closet.


My wind may not be adequate but I have flow and a bit of a breeze in the closet.

My humidity is all over the place.





I have no idea what my root zone temperature is but I do have a meat thermometer. Lol

I've had a lot of problems with water. It's been from flood to drought but I think I have a better handle on that now.

I think I have better oxygen levels now after switching to coco coir.

I think my nutrients are OK.
I'll make sure to water my nutes from the top down until she's established, and I'll keep sniffing my reservoir water.
I'm going to PH my nutes now. It can only help.

There she is !!
(actually, I'm not 100% sure.
I hope it's not a seed from my bird food. Lol)

 

[PCBuds]

She's still alive.
It's been 11 days since I started the seed though.
It looks like I'm going to have another slow plant.
